Ansor‑backed Complii has sealed a deal to buy Classic Lifts Scotland, a Glasgow‑based provider of preventative maintenance, emergency repairs and lift modernisation. The acquisition adds a specialist services arm to Complii’s newly launched Lifts and Escalators division, giving it a foothold in the Scottish market and a broader client base across the United Kingdom.

The move follows a wave of consolidation in the building‑safety sector, where regulators are tightening compliance requirements for elevators and escalators. By integrating Classic Lifts’ operational expertise with its own regulatory platform, Complii can offer end‑to‑end compliance solutions, from routine inspections to emergency response, to property owners and facilities managers.

Investors will watch how the combined entity leverages Classic Lifts’ existing contracts to boost revenue and cross‑sell compliance services. With Ansor providing capital support, the transaction positions Complii to capture a larger share of the UK lift‑service market and strengthens its standing as a one‑stop shop for safety compliance.
